1. What to Do as Soon as You Decide Whom to Hire

Have an HR Contact for your department create a background check request in the online Background Check Administration (BCA) system and notify the student to authorize the check electronically. If you prefer to give the student a paper form, you will ask them to complete a Criminal Background Check Form and send that form to your HR Contact to enter into the BCA.

After the student has accepted employment, inform the student that an electronic I-9 form must be completed no later than the first day of work and that the student must bring acceptable original identification and work-eligibility documents at that time. The student must meet with an HR Contact or Delegate in your department to complete the electronic I-9
and E-Verify. See I-9 Resources for more information.

International students who will have UT Select insurance benefits should apply for a waiver of the required UT Austin student health insurance. Information on application deadlines is available from International Student and Scholar Services.
